The VILLAGER SUN OVEN can prepare food for 300 to 500 people per day. A safe estimate is to allocate one VILLAGER SUN OVEN for every 400 people. (Based on 2 meals a day.) Each oven will enable the community to conserve 340,000 lbs. (154,224 Kg.) of wood annually at a daily cost of only $0.0016. The demands of population growth coupled with deforestation for agricultural and fuel use, have outstripped much of the Third World’s ability to regenerate its forests. Deforestation is having a negative effect on weather patterns, causing soil erosion, reducing the world’s source of free oxygen, and depleting plant and animal life.
VILLAGER SUN OVENS (more pictures) were developed to help feed large groups of people without destabilizing the environment or adding to the world’s current deforestation problem. The long term negative effects of using wood as a fuel source is reason enough to look for an alternate source of energy. If you couple this with the social and economical impact of using wood it becomes evident that solar cooking is the most environmentally friendly and economical way to prepare large quantities of food.
Due to inclement weather conditions the VILLAGER SUN OVEN can
not be used
100 % of the time. For the illustration presented below it
is assumed that the Oven is to be used with the sun as the energy source 85% of the time. The propane back
up system can be used for the remaining 15% of time when solar energy is not available due to bad weather.

We have found that it is best to start a project with at least two (2) VILLAGERs. The ideal package for the most practical economies of scale would include five (5), or multiples of five (5), VILLAGER SUN OVENS at a time. These ovens are paid for only through gifts, grants, donations or major donor contributions.
